Good shell (with modifications)Previous reviews on the Precip noted the short coming of the lining and how
it got wet and impossible to add/exchange a liner. And justifiably. But at such
a low price I took a chance and cut out the lining to create a true shell glove.
No "Waterproof Breathable" material keeps up while I'm skiing. Now I can
easily exchange liners at lunch. It's like having fresh gloves. I use
Marmot's Classic 200 fleece on cold days, good to the
low teens, and 100wt fleece on warmer days. For sub-zero days I still go to
my Marmot Ultimate (circa 2004) gloves. The thumbs on the Precip were 1/2" too
long but with the lining removed it was easy to trim them. The fit is now great.
Palm material does absorb moister but nothing like that of leather palms.
Note: My modifications invalidates any warranty. But it was well worth the risk.
I just hope Marmot reads this and skips the Lining step during manufacturing
to create a new model. Precip Lite? Until then; snip, snip.
